I was out in my backyard, looking for something to do   Turned around and I saw the woodpile, right next to my canoe   It was bright, and bold, and nice, and the sun beamed off the name 'Maurice', and as long as I was home for dinner   I decided to take my canoe down to the river      I love my canoe (I love my)   I love my canoe (canoe)   I love my canoe (I love my)   I love my canoe      Well, the water was calm and I looked for ducks and geese   The day was warm, pushed along by a Summer breeze   There were people fishing, and having fun   People fed the ducks, kids playing in the sun   Yeah well, they looked at me like I was a dork, but I paddled along anyway   Saw the cool kids out in their speedboats,   But I'd stay away from them if I wanted to stay afloat      I love my canoe (I love my)   I love my canoe (canoe)   I love my canoe (I love my)   I love my canoe      Then I saw her, she passed me up on her water-skis   And those waves were so big, I thought that they would capsize me   She did a jump, and then she twirled in the air   The boat pulled her fast, and the wind blew her hair   She was one of those cool girls, who had a lot of shoes   And she would never go for me, sitting in this canoe   So I, paddled on, and I felt like a geek   Those guys she liked had muscles, and I was fairly weak   But that's okay, though, I love my canoe, even though, I cannot love you!      I love my canoe (I love my)   I love my canoe (canoe)   I love my canoe (I love my)   I love my canoe   Canoe, canoe, canoe, I love you!   Canoe, canoe, canoe, I love you!   Canoe, canoe, canoe, I love you!
